Brass Ball Valve for Residential Plumbing

This Value Brand 32H970 ball valve is a manual two-way shut-off device built for home plumbing systems. The chrome-plated brass ball and full-port design provide unrestricted flow for water, air, oil, or steam lines. It suits DIYers and professionals installing or repairing inline connections.

600 PSI Working Pressure with 150 PSI Steam Limit

The valve handles continuous operating pressures up to 600 psi and saturated steam service up to 150 psi. It holds vacuum down to 29 in Hg without leakage. These ratings cover typical residential and light commercial supply lines but exclude high-pressure gas distribution or industrial process piping.

1/2 Inch FNPT Full-Port Brass Construction

The 1/2 inch female NPT threads connect directly to standard copper, steel, or PVC adapters without reducers. Two-piece brass body construction allows inline maintenance while the locking handle prevents accidental operation. California Proposition 65 warnings apply for chemical exposure.

Questions about this item

Will the 1/2 in FNPT threads on this ball valve match the 1/2 in NPT fittings on my existing copper piping?

Yes, the valve uses 1/2 in FNPT threads that mate with standard 1/2 in male NPT connections on copper, steel or brass pipe.

How can I verify the valve is sealing correctly after I install it in a 600 psi water line?

Pressurise the line and watch for leaks at the body joint and stem; the chrome-plated brass ball and full-port design should hold 600 psi WOG with zero visible weep.

Does the box include pipe-thread sealant or do I need to buy Teflon tape separately?

Only the valve body, chrome-plated brass ball, locking handle and two-piece brass body are supplied; thread sealant or tape must be purchased separately.
